How do I figure out my tow capacity?
I am buying a 2003 National Tropi-cal M-370. I am trying to figure out how much its capable of towing safely. I found a manual here http://www.mediafire.com/download/ymtoyfotij5/National+RV+20...

HW for the trailer needs to be included in the CCC or payload of ANY vehicle! Reality is, 5000lbs plus 10% hW of 500 lbs means you have 5500 lbs of trailer. OR, if you MH is only 26K lbs, you have 1900 lbs for hw. Or 19K lbs of trailer capacity at 10%. Assuming you have a strong enough hitch etc. Or at 25% if you could do a 5w, you have a max trailer of 7900 lbs. Or at the max for a ball mount trailer of 15% you have 12666 lbs of trailer total.
Towing a trailer generally speaking with no hw will cause sway issues. If the car tow dolly or equal does not have hw, then that is a different issue. then yes, you can max the gvwr of the MH, then you have a max 5000 lbs of car you can tow!
